Eating Smart for Diabetes: Are You Carb Savvy?

You definitely don’t need to follow an extreme low-carb diet to manage diabetes, but eating carbohydrates in moderation makes it easier to keep blood sugars in a healthy, safe range. Experts generally advise people with diabetes to eat no more than 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrate per meal and 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrate per snack. Carbohydrate counting can help you make better food choices, but there’s a bit of a learning curve if you’re new to this way of eating. Take this quiz to see if you have a good handle on the carb content of everyday foods.
